Above all, don’t let traditions and culture teach you what marriage is! Even adults might appreciate perusing this book which so simply lays out the perfect plan God created.
It speaks directly to children and takes them back to the Garden of Eden, where God first created marriage. It briefly touches on divorce, polygamy, and same-sex couples in the sense that we are all sinners. We sometime want wrong things, but true happiness only comes from knowing and following God.
I love how the book helps the child to cherish all parts of God-designed marriage. How we no longer are two “me’s” but one “us,” how we share everything (name, money, house), how we mourn and celebrate things together, and more–with Scripture woven throughout.
There’s quite a bit packed into this little book, so I encourage you to check it out!
